Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 30, 2023

and he’s left-handed … call 911 right away.

As well he should be after the toaster incident.

Safety first!

I’m more concerned about that chair being used as a ladder. At least this one doesn’t have wheels.

Especially those flashing lights on the barricades

Tony also has a bulb loose.

Where’s the hard hat and safety vest ?

You should be cautious around Tony.

Ooh, pull chain light switch, is it on or off, Tony?

Tony needs to be cautious. He’s about to find out the light is still on.

His fears are well grounded.

Electrical safety first. He then breaks a leg and an arm carrying his barricades down the stairs and back to the garage.

There was a very odd facilities guy at my company who, when attending to the safety bulletin board in the main hallway, would surround himself with 4 or 5 large orange traffic cones.

He either has a really low ceiling or that’s a very tall chair to be able to change the lightbulb on his knees.

Once bitten by lightning, one becomes thrice shy.

To knee or not, Tony? That is the question…

Whose kidding? This is what OSHA requires now. Nothing like being over regulated. Of course, they treat everyone like the dumbest kid on the block….and rightly so in some cases.

Tony’s got a screw loose.

How many Tonys does it take to screw in a light bulb? This is a test. It is only a test. If it was a real screwing in of a light bulb, many Eastern European villagers would be offended,

Yet he is going to stand on a chair. If he falls off, he is going to injure himself on the inappropriate warning “sawhorses”.

I don’t normally advise this, but Tony is the guy who should call an electrician to change his light bulb.

So am I.

Tony’s trying to remember if the old one came out by turning the bulb or the fixture. And.. that globe between his knees is distracting his thought.

He should use a ladder and fall protection with the ladder if he is really cautious. Or call an electrician.

But it only takes one Tony to screw in a light bulb.

Tony’s still going to screw it up (into the light fixture).
